    What turbos from other cars fit the C1J as a straight bolt on?

    As per the title, what turbos from other cars bolt straight up and which need some minor mods?

    The names that people most talk about are:

    Rover 220 coupe turbo - Tomcat
    Nissan S14 0.49 turbine housing
    Saab 9000

    Any others please shout out

    Japanese cars are easier for me but interested to hear about anything for everyone's sake.

    This is why I have started this thread, to lock in some facts that people can refer to.

    I notice a lot of other turbos are not water cooled. What are people doing here? Just joining the cooling hoses together?

    Are you currently running a standard coolant setup? If so then yes you could just join them together. But you can make it look neater.

    I am going to be running a very minimal coolant setup.
    Using an oil cooled vnt and removing the degassing chamber also.
    So I will be blocking the return (to waterpump)from turbo with a short discreet hose and bolt.
    Water pump outlet to inlet manifold has a bung fitted - so no cooling/heating to inlet or carb either.
